Twitter cracks down on Donald Trump after he has violent meltdown
Donald Trump has already murdered nearly a quarter million Americans in the pandemic, so what’s a few more bodies to him? That appears to be the approach that Trump is taking, on his way to a likely election loss. Over the weekend he cheered on a caravan of thugs who ran a Biden campaign bus off the road. Now Trump is ranting about violence on Twitter – but Twitter is cracking down on him.
Trump posted this very disturbing tweet this evening: “The Supreme Court decision on voting in Pennsylvania is a VERY dangerous one. It will allow rampant and unchecked cheating and will undermine our entire systems of laws. It will also induce violence in the streets. Something must be done!”
We all know that Donald Trump isn’t just predicting violence; he’s trying to incite it. In any case, less than an hour after Trump posted the tweet, Twitter, cracked down, covering it up with this warning message: “Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and ight be misleading about an election or other civic process.”
You can still click through and see the tweet if you really want to, but it’s clear that Twitter isn’t afraid to take proper action against Trump as he unravels. We hope Twitter steps up this kind of enforcement as Trump’s tweets become more unhinged and violent tomorrow night.
